More Hellmuth Anecdotes
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 12,000 ante
Brad Ruben raised 20,000 from early position and Jon Turner called from the big blind. Each drew one and when Turner led out for 53,000 Ruben folded.
While the hand was taking place Phil Hellmuth told an amusing anecdote. He and Daniel Negreanu were on a cruise ship, and Hellmuth was playing no-limit hold'em, while Negreanu sweated him.
"Daniel piped up that he would play my discards," said Hellmuth, "And after playing the session that way, he had won more than I did."
